Lyrics

Misfit Kid

The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

I dream frequently, sometimes they come out funny

I go through insantity, all they want is money

all these parties they get so habitual

the same sea of faces

always pushin', always pullin'

always in the races

I get cooled out

I get the come ons

I get rumbled

I get cru-u-umbled, yeah

I'm the American misfit kid

I'm still wonderin' what I did

I'm stiletto, so so sharp and I'm willin' to cut

sometimes nebulous, well I'm ready to strut

lost and frantic, new age romantic

I'm checkin' out the race

I never cared about what it meant

always loved disgrace

I get rhythm

I get cornflakes

I get fast love

I get wasted, yeah

I'm the American misfit kid

still wonderin' what I did

I'm on the inside, takin' a fast ride

(I'm on the inside, takin' a fast ride)

I dream frequently, sometimes they come out funny, ha

I live with absurdity, it's always warm and runny

and all these parties they get so ritual

lonely hearts and aces

always pushin', a-always pullin', always in the races

I get cooled out

I get the come ons

I get rumbled

I get cru-u-u-umbled, yeah

I'm the American misfit kid

I'm still wonderin' what I did

I'm on the inside, takin' a fast ride

I'm the American misfit kid

I'm still wonderin' what I did

I'm on the inside, takin' a fast ride

that's right

I get cooled out

I get the come ons

I get rumbled

I get cru-umbled

I get Cornflakes

fast love, wasted

(fade)
